Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is one of the most significant advances in interventional cardiology. Unlike a standard angiogram, which shows only the outline of a blood vessel, IVUS uses a miniature ultrasound probe threaded into the coronary artery to produce a real-time, cross-sectional image of the vessel wall from the inside.
This lets our interventional cardiologists see the exact size of a blockage, the composition of plaque, and the true diameter of the artery — information that guides precise stent selection and placement, reducing the chances of under-expansion or re-narrowing later.
Narayana Institute of Medical Superspecialty is proud to have brought this advanced AI-assisted IVUS system to Nanded — the first and most advanced machine of its kind in Marathwada — supporting thousands of successful angioplasty procedures with imaging-guided precision that was previously available only in larger metro hospitals.
